LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Talend, a global open source software leader, today announced the
availability of version 5.1 of its next-generation integration solution,
the only integration platform that provides a unified environment for
managing the entire integration lifecycle across data, application and
process integration requirements. With version 5.1, Talend introduces
big data tooling, a unified solution for Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
and Business Process Management (BPM) and a set of improvements that
increases enterprise readiness for mission-critical projects.

Accelerating Adoption and Deployment of Big Data

With version 5.1, Talend makes available the first set of big data
integration and big data quality tools that abstracts the complexity of
Hadoop programming through a graphical design environment and an
engine-less MapReduce code generation paradigm. This dramatically
accelerates the adoption and deployment of big data solutions. Provided
under the Apache Version 2 license, Talend
Open Studio for Big Data not only dramatically improves the
efficiency of integration but also alleviates the need for advanced
parallel programming expertise – a rare skillset on a fast growing big
data market. The Talend
Platform for Big Data also provides unique data quality features
that allow organizations to identify and link connected records. It is
compatible with all Apache Hadoop distributions.

Unified ESB and BPM

Talend v5.1 takes integration of ESB and BPM to the next level, with a
new connector that provides point-and-click connectivity between a
business process and web service running on the ESB. For many SOA
integration projects, BPM and ESB technologies complement one another,
resulting in a streamlined development environment to build a process
and easily leverage an existing service interface, reducing the cost of
integrating, testing and deploying business processes. This further
underlines Talend’s holistic approach to integration, which is enabling
organizations to dramatically reduce setup and implementation time of
integration projects.

Enterprise Readiness

Talend v5.1 includes a new set of capabilities that make large
enterprise deployments easier to manage. These include:

Automated deployment of updates to the Talend Runtime OSGi compliant
container, enabling systems administration groups to easily manage the
deployment and upgrade of runtime environments, in the Cloud and on
premises.

Support of the Oozie management framework for Hadoop, facilitating the
workflow management, scheduling and overall management of big data
jobs.

Integration with the Kerberos authentication framework to add a layer
of security and permissions to big data stored and processed in Hadoop.

“Talend version 5.1 delivers on our vision to provide enterprise-class
data integration that is affordable, scalable and easy to use,” said
Fabrice Bonan, co-founder and chief operating officer, Talend. “We are
proud to provide the most unified integration solution on the market
that powers the IT systems of thousands of large and small enterprises
for mission-critical projects.”

Customers have embraced Talend’s differentiated holistic integration
approach supported by a unified solution. As the only enterprise vendor
to offer a comprehensive technology portfolio that spans all enterprise
integration needs, including data, applications and business processes,
Talend continues to aggressively grow its customer base.

processes are key,” said Fabio Zuccato, ICT Manager at kleertjes.com,
the largest online store for children's clothing in The Netherlands.
